背景:护理资源的短缺是由于缺乏护士,增加的病人量和工作量,和其他因素。这似乎是一个世界性的现象,导致多种医疗保健相关挑战和护理质量下降,但在高与高的程度不同低收入国家。国际视野可以通过增加我们的卫生工作者的安全来减轻挑战,以确保我们的患者安全。
■为了交流全球护理资源短缺的经验,举办了一次国际在线会议。来自德国的演讲者,菲律宾,波兰,坦桑尼亚,英国和美国提出了应对这一现象的国家挑战和战略。
结果:会议介绍包括有关医疗保健系统的信息,医院病床数量相当,护士,和护理教育。发言者报告了一些挑战,例如高护士空缺率与需求之间的不平衡,还有战争和难民,人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)和其他感染率高,或护士移民到其他国家;报告的解决方案包括从其他国家购买,吸引护士的项目,如磁铁医院,改善工作机会,比如更高的工资,职业前景,或改善教育,和其他人。
结论:护理资源短缺似乎是一个全球性现象。护理管理者和研究人员应不断交流和沟通挑战和解决方案,并在全球范围内合作。
BACKGROUND: Shortage in nursing
resource results from the combination of a lack of nurses, an increased patient volume and workload, and other factors. This seems to be a worldwide phenomenon, leading to multiple health care related challenges and a decreased quality of care, but is different in extent in high- vs. low-income countries. An international perspective can alleviate challenges to keep our patients safe through increasing our health workers\' safety.
UNASSIGNED: To exchange experiences with the shortage in nursing
resource globally, an international online conference event was hosted. Speakers from Germany, the Philippines, Poland, Tanzania, the United Kingdom and the United States presented their national challenges and strategies to deal with this phenomenon.
RESULTS: Conference presentations included information about the health care systems, comparable numbers of hospital beds, nurses, and nursing education. Speakers reported challenges such as an imbalance between a high nurse vacancy rate and demands, but also war and refugees, high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other infection rates, or nurses\' migration to other countries; the solutions reported included buy-in from other countries, nurses-attracting projects such as Magnet hospitals, improved job opportunities like higher wages, career prospects, or improved education, and others.
CONCLUSIONS: Shortage in nursing
resource seems to be a global phenomenon. Nursing managers and researchers should exchange and communicate challenges and solutions continuously and cooperate globally.
